If you were a government and you wanted to cripple the development of the most intelligent non-conformists in your society, how would you go about doing it? Could alienating them from the rest of the population by fueling their obsession with conspiracy theories achieve your goals? Only someone who was already pulling away from social situations would further pull away after reading conspiracy theories. For me, I am even more aware of the need to build community these days. I try and be friendly and learn about people more than ever.Does fear itself shut down the mind and take the wind out of the sails of most proactive people? Is it possible that all that is popular are wrong conspiracy theories, because if any right ones got into the fray, the government would either silence them or flood the world with so much disinformation to the point that the observer could no longer tell the truth from the lies?You can never tell the truth from the lies completely. There's no point in trying. All you can do is research to the best of your ability and make rational choices on what to believe.
The pinnacle of conspiracy theories is probably the theory that the elite want to depopulate the world. If they want to do this, why haven't they done so? What's to say that depopulation hasn't occured multiple times in the past? What happened in the world wars? What happened in the Iraq+Afghan war? People didn't die? Am I missing something? If they feel that a population of 7.2 billion is destroying the ecosystems of the planet, why allow it to go on any further? Governments do NOT care about ecosystems. I repeat...governments do NOT care about ecosystems. If they say there is a new law to protect an ecosystem it is a lie. The law is about something else. Are they waiting for some technological development that will make the transition easier for them, or are they giving the populations of this world the maximum amount of time that they possibly can? Oligarchy. Everything leads back to that. It has nothing to do with having an empty planet but everything to do with having the maximum amount of control over the livestock. If the former, that means they do not presently possess the capabilities to enact their goals, if the latter, then that means that they have a sympathy for the populations of this world and are not truly the socipathic monsters they are made out to be. You are correct, the oligarchy has no power. The power rests in your and everyone elses need to believe they are needed and there is no way life could exist without them.
What do you make of people like Alex Jones and David Icke, who take the spotlight for themselves? Annoying assholes. 70% of what they say seems semi-reasonable, and yet they go over the edge just enough to render their ideas and movements totally incorrect and ineffective. Is it accidental that these two individuals grand stage this movement? I don't care. They are annoying idiots. I had rather listen to a five hour long argument between the reverend Al Sharpton and Ann Coulter.Could it be that they are merely agent provocateurs for the elites, gathering up the scattered ones and leading them astray? Don't know, don't care.
I'll give you an example: Do a voice analysis of Alex Jones and the radio personality Ghost from the same area in Texas. These are the same individual speaker. If he can be so misleading as Ghost to the point of decrying his alternative persona, Alex Jones, what makes you think his most famous alter-ego is genuine?
